I wanted to make a B with a spiral base for Brenda's Big Birthday -- I imagined lots of swirls and elegance. Not so easy to stitch since I don't do applique! But when I looked at my drawings, the swirl looked like a cat's tail. And the top could be a cat's head, couldn't it?
So I added ears and voila, a cat! I'm thinking about adding embroidered eyes, but am not sure. Thoughts?
I made the cat by cutting 1-1/2" strips. I was going to cut some squares to make half square triangles (for the ears and the indentations in the B) when I remembered my Easy Angle Ruler. It lets you make HST's using the same size strips as your squares. I learned about it from Bonnie Hunter's website and absolutely love it!

love the kitty B - so cute. I think it's kinda elegant and mysterious just as is. I love that ruler too!
Love your 2 B's and love my easy angle ruler too!

This is a totally bodacious B! What a great idea! I don't think it needs any eyes...it looks enough like a cat now. WOW.
Oh don't add eyes - it looks great just as it is. Wonderful!
I keep on meaning to buy that ruler. Thanks for the reminder.
Cool cat!
